Some, however, 1 refuse to be balked and will thre ; “Tl sue you! I'll sue you!” For these there will be but one answer. An official of the corporation, wearing a white yachting cap will re- tort: “Well, go on and sue! Go on and sue! If you get a judgment against us we'll help you collect it and split fifty-fifty! And if you hang around long enough we'll give you a frame for the judgment so you can hand it down from generation to gencration!” What could be fairer than that? Or more ¢ ious ? While the International No-Got Corporation has yet to get on its feet, it has located its principal offices on a bench in Bryant Park. Viewed from here, its plan will give everyone a chance to start over again with a clean slate and surge on to bigger and more handsome deficits. Wall Street has already expressed the opinion that ship Bonds will find ready ma stability if sold, as most high-grade securities are sold nowadays, by the bale. Certainly, the plan’s value can- not be measured in terms of mere dol- lars and cents. It should go far toward pointing the way out of the prevailing depression, dispelling the gloom, bringing order out of chaos, and ushering in a new era of pros- perity. Optimism is the keynote of the In- ternational No-Got Corporation. Its slogan is: “With Malice Toward None and Charity For All Who Come Early Enough.” The corporation has no telephone.

After a glimpse of Paris-in-Africa, the famous French Liner Paris (the aristocrat of the seas) will take you on to Naples, then to Napoleon's birth- place at Ajaccio in Corsica—then up to Monte Carlo, Cannes, Marse’ each day ashore an inexpressible coloured moving-picture which will re your mind forever. Your cabin will be typical of cushioned French Line comfort; you'll eat as if you were touring the greatest restaurants of France (with what- ever American dishes you like best whenever you want them); you'll explore vintages that have long tantalized you; your odd moments will be diverted by a program of well-bred gayety typical of the French Line's genius for making you enjoy their cruise more than you ever enjoyed another anywhere. From Marseilles you'll either sail direct home by Majorca, Gibraltar and the Azores —or by train to Paris and Havre and the Ile de France, as you prefer. The Paris, on her first Mediterranean Cruises, proposes to take a company of nice people who know best how to defeat winter—who cherish gayety and detest organized whoopee—and who (like most nice people) know how to make each dollar buy its utmost luxury. Old General Depression will not be allovved up the gangplank; these cruises are planned to make Time (which all the economists say is the cure) really go to work for you!
